AA:     + research time based release plan (Michael)
        + MOX export
                + should support it if code to do so, not a
                  political thing, sure keep it in, as a
                  complement to RTF (Caolan)
                + Norbert - agreed
                + Wols - if code there, put it in.
                + David (agreed)
                + Rene - as much as people may dislike it, it
                  is used; at my work: a headache, but to
                  exchange need export.
		+ Michael - hard to know where to stop removing
		  poor-standards: rtf, doc, pdf, PE (dll,exe)
        + SCALE
                + we should gang up on Joseph to encourage him to go.
        + release process questions
                + build again for GM ? yes.
